Oral Mucositis in Oncopediatric Patients: MTX and MMP‐1, MMP‐8, MMP‐13 Gene Polymorphisms
ABSTRACT Background This study investigates the association between single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the MMP‐1, MMP‐8, and MMP‐13 genes and the risk of oral mucositis development in paediatric patients with leukaemia and lymphoma who are undergoing methotrexate (MTX) treatment.

Developing tissue engineered models of oral mucosa and oral cancer to study novel therapeutic and diagnostic techniques. [PDF]
In the UK in 2008 over 1,800 people died from oral cancer. Despite advances in surgery and therapy the survival rates for those diagnosed with oral cancer have not significantly improved over the past 20 years.

Lipid profile in oral submucous fibrosis [PDF]
Changes in lipid profile have long been associated with malignancies as lipids play a key role in maintenance of cell integrity. This study evaluated the alterations in extended lipid profile in untreated patients of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) and studied the correlation between lipid levels with tobacco consumption.In this hospital-based study, 65

A Retrospective Analysis of the Diagnostic Accuracy in Diagnosing OPMD and Benign Oral Lesions
ABSTRACT Objective The clinical suspicion of a neoplastic lesion necessitates prompt diagnostic assessment through oral biopsy. However, the failure to accurately recognize an oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD) or the misdiagnosis of a benign lesion can lead to diagnostic delays with significant impact on the patient's health.

A Review on Image Processing and Fractal Analysis in Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders
ABSTRACT Aim The clinical evaluation of patients with oral potentially malignant disorders is primarily based on physical examination and observable clinical features. Clinical photographs play a key role in patient monitoring and help identify signs that may indicate malignant transformation.

Increased Genetic Instability in Exfoliated Oral Cells in Patients With Epidermolysis Bullosa
ABSTRACT Objective To analyze the nuclear abnormalities of cytotoxicity—karyorrhexis (KR), karyolysis (KL), and pyknosis (PN)—and genotoxicity—micronucleus (MN) in exfoliated cells from different sites of the oral mucosa in patients with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) and a control group.
